I grew up with his children and he and his wife always enjoyed having all of us over for outings at his home! Always so sweet and inviting to have people over! Will never forget this wonderful person. I am sure the family is hurting right now and they need to treasure their wonderful memories with him! May he rest in peace! God bless that man. The family should be proud they had him as a father and he was lucky to have them in his life!
